Khazin explains why he filed a lawsuit against Chubais.
The arrest of Anatoly Chubais, former president of the Russian nanotechnology company "Rusnano," is the result of mismanagement at the company.
According to TASS, renowned Russian economist Mikhail Khazin made this statement on the social media program "American Law and Order."
He stated that large amounts of state funds were invested in various innovative developments, but these investments did not yield any obvious results. This expert pointed out that as a result, the "Rusnano" company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Khazin firmly believes that filing a lawsuit against Chubais shows that the Russian authorities are taking concrete actions in the fight against corruption. Additionally, it sends a signal to the entire elite class that they can only protect their assets by staying within Russia.
Khazin concluded: "If you are outside of Russia, they can find you and start 'investigating' you. That's just how it is."
This economist believes that with the Chubais case as an example, representatives of the current Russian system should understand that they can no longer use the same wealth-building model as before; they could make money in Russia and then transfer funds abroad in the past.
